The Osim Slimming Belt

In this day and age, slimming is of utmost importance to our generation. Not only does one look better in clothes slim, but its also healthier for us too. Hence people everywhere are desperately looking for ways to get thin- quickly and easily. That is why the slimming programs and products are thriving. How else does Victoria Beckham look so sickly thin?

My mom's friend recently bought this slimming belt from Osim for $199USD. It claims that it is all you need for slimming, toning, massaging or even indigestion. Basically it is a belt you wrap around your waist that vibrates at varying speeds. You are supposed to wear it for around 15 minutes everyday. I've personally tried it. The vibration comes in varying degrees and it completely effortless and not painful at all.

I'm not sure how that is suppose to help one slim down though. In fact, I'm not convinced that it works at all-doesn't the concept behind it sound a little farfetched to you? But then again, celebs put electrodes on their butts so then the muscles there are 'working' with no effort on their part and they look like it works. So far (its been a month?) I haven't heard of any major improvements. Either it makes very slow progress or it doesn't work. And I think its the latter.

  1. of course it won't work, slimming the midsection can only be achieved by controlling what you put inside your body, doing cardio, muscle training, i.e. crunches etc, if it was that easy to slim down, everyone would have jumped on the battery-powered belt bandwagon aaaages ago! i can't believe your mom's friend fell for that crap! LOL!

  2. What I don't understand is how they put a little vibrating thing in something and a call it a massager. It doesn't massage it VIBRATES darn it and I don't know about you but that sure doesn't feel like a massage to me. This sounds like the same deal. Massage, skinnier, whatever, it's still just something that sits there and shakes.

  3. Oh yeah..nothing works except plain ole cardio, and of course not eating everything you set your eyes on.

    Zapping your muscles is so not the same as making your muscles work. I don't understand why people believe otherwise. Putting this belt thingie on, and then sitting down on the couch, eating a bag of chips is definitely not going to help you lose weight.

  4. I remember those being sold on informercials a while ago, but then it was banned because it made false claims.

  5. been there, it doesn't work.(i really wish it did). 100 ab crunches a day and no food after 7 PM is what works.

  7. that's ok, I saw that after I posted it and I wanted to delete it, i'm glad you did it.

    basically, brookstone sells this product, but they're just selling it as a massaging belt. they didn't say anything about it having slimming effects at all.

  13. Hi,

    anyone who considers buying the slimming belt or any other device that is just worn on the skin should read this article:

  15. The house of Hogan
    is renowned for its casual-chic sneakers for him and her. If you always hope for the top shoes in town, it is best to choose hogan donna
    ; you should select Hogan uomo
    . I’m not simply raving about any skyscraping but Hogan scarpe uomo
    this summer time.

  16. it's my first time to reply to a blog. hello everyone! i am using a slimming belt right now and decide to research about its advantages. it's my aunt's slimming belt by the way. does shaking and everything causes my fats to shrink? i don't think so. maybe i'll use this for a while and i will share my experience to you all.

  17. hi .. I agree that it doesn't help in losing the paunch. The ab-crunches can not be substituted. But it can definitely help to "fine tune" that little bit of extra fat :). Very effective for people who do not have the time/energy/willingness to exercise. A good example could be losing the post pregnancy fat. Anyway, I use it on my lower body as well, works as a gentle massager. Just don't expect miracles from these slimming belts

  18. Hi there, I have been using this product for the last 3 years with amazing results.This product is fantastic.I lost 5kgs in 3.5 months & have maintained the weight off by using the belt. You will get better results if you use the belt all over your body & not just on your problem areas. I began seeing improvements withing the first month but you have to use the belt 3-4 times a week. There's no easy way to maintain your weight, you have to do the work. Exercise & a balanced diet makes a difference. Its easy it only takes 15mns on each section ,you wrap it around & you can watch TV - how great is that! If you follow through you will slim down & tone. I definitely would recommend this product.
